Bleeding Once Again
Anomy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seems i finally reached
the end of the circle
never thought it was possible
but here i am

is it just another loop
i'm sure it's not
breaking the shackles
was the hardest part

do you cut me open
so i will bleed again
then put your arms around me
and hold me like a friend
say your words of wisdom
but now i understand
i can only laugh now
for weeping then

free but i'm not moving
there's a hole where the sail should be




time to swim i don't think so
could only go back there anyway

Overall Meaning

In Anomy's song Bleeding Once Again, the singer seems to have reached the end of the circle, perhaps indicating a full circle of a difficult situation or cycle that they have finally completed. Despite not believing it was possible, they have gotten here nonetheless. However, the singer wonders if this is just another loop they will have to endure. The hardest part was breaking free of the shackles that held them back.


The singer asks if the person cutting them open wants them to bleed once again, only to hold them like a friend. They ask this person for their words of wisdom, but they have come to understand things themselves. Now they can only laugh, having wept before. The singer acknowledges they are free, but they are not moving, perhaps feeling stuck in place. There's a hole where the sail should be, indicating that they are missing something essential to move forward. They dismiss the idea of swimming, indicating that they are either unable or unwilling to move on, also suggesting they may end up back where they started if they try.


Overall, the lyrics suggest a person who has come full circle but still feels stuck, unable, or unwilling to move forward. They have come to understand things themselves, and while they appreciate the person who cut them open, they no longer desire their assistance.

Tears fell when she said, “but you didn’t want to stay with me.’”

that scene wants to remake me watch Grey's anatomy for the 4th time.

@daisiejensen4818

I get why April didn't say anything before the divorce. People shouldn't stay married because of the children, they should stay married because they love each other and are committed to each other.

@xxopxxfan54

Preach, an unhappy marriage only makes things even more tiring for the child raising, an already exhausting process (rewarding but exhausting)
